HOMEWOOD, Alabama -- Applebee’s Restaurant at 579 Colonial Brookwood Village will donate a check worth more than $100,000 to Make-A-Wish Alabama today at 4 p.m. at the local eatery. Pam Jones, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Alabama, will be on hand to receive the check, along with a local Make-A-Wish family.

Throughout the month of March, area Applebee’s Restaurants celebrated “Make a Wish Month,” collecting donations through the sale of the well-known Make-A-Wish paper stars. Customers who chose to donate (any amount) were asked to write their name on the stars that were later hung up for display.

According to the foundation’s website, 100 percent of proceeds will go toward achieving their mission—to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
